From a brief look at the Makefile, it appears that the AP cannot be built alone;
i.e., I think that this needs:
depends on PURELIFI

LiFi as an Access Point.
or
LiFi in Access Point mode.
or make something up. :)

Same module, not a separate one, right?

Why does this check for CONFIG_PURELIFI_AP=m ?
How about if CONFIG_PURELIFI_AP=y ?

It would be more common just to check for CONFIG_PURELIFI_AP in the source
file(s) instead of adding a synonym for it.
